Description
If you find my designs useful, please consider sending a tip.
Update Nov 2025: Added a 2nd version which has recesses for adding an o-ring - Images online seem to show early versions of the mount used an o-ring, later ones like mine didn't seem to)
Needed to make a replacement 66t declination gear for my little Meade Star Navigator/DS2000 Mount as the original had come lose and the teeth had been chewed up by the worm gear.
Printed in PLA and seems to be ok, but you may wish to print in a more robust material like PETG/ABS or Nylon like the original, if you can.
